* Low income households are defined as equivalized income decile 1 (the bottom ten percent). Equivalized income is defined by the source as: "The income a household needs to attain a given standard of living will depend on its size and composition. Equivalisation is a means of adjusting a household’s income for size and composition so that the incomes of all households are on a comparable basis."
